Depends on what you mean. For me personally as a physicst, Julia supplanted Python like 7 years ago and I haven't looked back. There's a vibrant, active ecosystem of useful open source packages relevant to my needs constantly being developed. I've had zero reason to use python in ages.
Other people may have different needs, different experiences, and different organizational or legacy constraints that makes it so that switching from python to julia is just not on the table any time soon. That's fine.
Julia and Python continue to both grow in the scientific computing space, and I think Julia is becoming more and more of a known name, and an accepted tool in the scientist's toolkit. It may not be the tool the majority of scientists use any time soon, but that's not really a problem.
